The largest single award we have on record went to Global Defense Logistics UK Ltd for £5.5m, on a UKRI-4185 BAS Gateway Agency in Punta Arenas notice.

How Bidwell helps
Win more of the UK Research & Innovation pipeline
SMB share at UK Research & Innovation is 13.6%, well under the public-sector benchmark. If you are a smaller supplier, you are statistically under-represented in this pipeline, and Bidwell is built to change that. We watch every notice the buyer publishes, score it against your past wins, and draft a complete first response in around 30 minutes so you can bid on the awkward ones you would normally skip.
